YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A sudden dust and rainstorm swept through Mumbai on Monday, killing 14 people and injuring scores of others after a giant billboard collapsed in a suburb of India’s financial capital.

Beams from the advertising hoarding crushed a service station, according to the National Disaster Response Force, which said on X that the agency has rescued 74 people. Rescue workers struggled into the evening to free those trapped beneath the rubble.

The violent gusts of wind, followed by squalls of driving rain, uprooted trees across the city and disrupted flights. A metal structure at an under-construction parking facility also crushed two vehicles, according to the Press Trust of India.
